39.3% Stingrays; 31.8% Grand Sport; 28.9% Z06

17.5% of Corvettes built were convertibles

Automatic transmissions outsold manuals once again at 78%.

The 1LT package was most popular for Stingray Coupes, while the 2LT was the top pick for Stingray Convertibles and Grand Sports. The 3LZ was again the most popular for Z06 models.

Almost 30% of Z06s opted for the Z07 performance package.

Arctic White once again topped the list as most popular color, and for the first time in several years – when you add the two ‘reds’ together, they don’t beat out white (just barely though)!
